Photos

February 18, 2009

Just wanted to take a moment to post some photos of Ariel. We finally got some down time and decided to use it to go to the studio and take some photos. Wait a second…
Anyway here they are. Don’t be afraid to leave comments about how beautiful she looks with her belly!!

As I look at pictures of my “baby” Ariel (when I left her for the first time as an infant, a sweet, quite elderly grandmother in an airport line reminded me that “once your baby, always your baby”) – it’s so amazing to realize that it wasn’t all that long ago. Now she’s a growing young woman, a talented and gifted artist/photographer, a dedicated partner, and will soon be a wonderful mother. So the generations of Mandeville, Wynne, and other branches of the family tree grows yet another branch – a tree that will see many generations of life as it continues its growth. It makes even more real the sense of responsibility to the seventh generation and for the stewardship that is expressed by many of the indigenous peoples for our home and mother earth.
It’s great to see photos of you, Ariel, whenever they get posted – I hope you will continue to document the changes in your family and life together. That as birth comes closer we will have the opportunity to glimpse the expectancy of a stretching belly; and after my grandson’s birth you will share many precious moments with your family and friends out here.ReplyCancel

Aww, Ariel you look so beautiful. Your mom showed these photos to everyone at my parent’s place the other night and we all agreed that you look amazing. I can’t wait to meet your baby boy! I saw the video of him kicking, so sweet. You guys are going to make great parents.

You’re beautiful! And the belly is much bigger!!! Love to you three, RinnReplyCancel
